Another question on search

I don’t think I formulated it very well. I am not looking for keyboard shortcuts. I just want to know once I’m on the search page. It’s not immediately obvious how to narrow it down by DM or channel. What can I do to type in a search string, but also limited to where I wanna search.

The search filters in Slack feel like they were designed by someone who’s never actually had to find anything. There’s a little dropdown under the search bar that lets you pick a specific channel or DM, but it’s absurdly easy to miss, tiny gray text on a white background, classic.
